Last summer, it was the arrival of Ibrahima Konate that proved to be Liverpool’s most significant piece of transfer business.
The Frenchman arrived from RB Leipzig after the Reds paid his £36million release clause and was seen as the ideal recruit on the back of a turbulent campaign in which Liverpool were decimated by defensive injuries.
Despite impressive displays when featuring, the 22-year-old has had a steady start to like at Anfield so far. He didn’t make his first Premier League start until mid-September and has accumulated a total of just seven league appearances to date, with a further four coming in cup competitions.
